The wind bloweth where it listeth, and thou hearest the sound thereof, but canst not tell whence it cometh, and whither it goeth: so is every one that is born of the Spirit.

Der Wind bläst, wo er will, und du hörst sein Sausen wohl; aber du weißt nicht, woher er kommt und wohin er fährt. Also ist ein jeglicher, der aus dem Geist geboren ist.
El viento de donde quiere sopla, y oyes su sonido; mas ni sabes de dónde viene, ni a dónde vaya: así es todo aquel que es nacido del Espíritu.
El viento sopla donde quiere, y oyes su sonido, pero no sabes de dónde viene ni adónde va. Así es todo el que ha nacido del Espíritu».
Le vent souffle où il veut, et tu en entends le bruit; mais tu ne sais d'où il vient, ni où il va. Il en est ainsi de tout homme qui est né de l'Esprit.
Il vento soffia ove egli vuole, e tu odi il suo suono, ma non sai onde egli viene, nè ove egli va; così è chiunque è nato dello Spirito.
O vento assopra onde quer, e ouves a sua voz, mas não sabes de onde vem, nem para onde vai; assim é todo aquele que é nascido do Espírito.
風 隨著意思吹,你聽見風的聲音,卻不知道是從哪裏來,往哪裏去;凡從聖靈生的也是如此。」
